Materials & Methods: Total75 patients were admitted. All patients were subjected to routine blood investigations, blood glucose, urine analysis, routine biochemical investigations, sickling, lipid profile, ECG, Serum Protein, X Ray chest, USG(KUB), serum calcium, potassium, chloride, sodium,phosphorus,albumin,globulin, bilirubin triglyceride,HDL,LDL,VLDL,SGOT,SGPT, Hb Electrophoresis, Serum Thyroid levels.

Result:

• Mean age of the patients was 26.8 ± 11.6 years.

• Males were 29.41% & Females were 70.59%, Ratio being M: F:: 1:2.75.

• In patients of Sickle cell nephropathy, 41.4% patients had deranged lipid profile.

• In Sickle cell trait,27.2 % had deranged lipid profile.

• Among Sickle cell disease, all the patients had deranged lipid profile.

• Derangement in individual lipids are as follows:-

1) Hypercholesterolemia(≥ 200 mg/dl) - 7.31 %,

2) TG(≥160 mg/dl) - 7.31%,

3) LDL (˃130 mg/dl ) – 2.4%

4) HDL(≤40 mg/dl) - 58.5% .

• Proteinuria in patients of Sickle cell nephropathy:

<1 gm/d = 21.9% had deranged lipid profile.

>1 gm/d = 34.1 % patients had deranged lipid profile.

Conclusion:

1) Lipid derangement is almost seen in all the patients of Sickle cell Nephropathy.

2) Hypercholesterolemia & Hypertriglyceridemia is common in males then in female.

3) Low levels of HDL was common in females as compare to male.

4) Deranged lipid profile was more common in proteinuria more than 1gm/dl
